[QUOTE=SPESS MEHRINE;34984030]How the hell... Please tell me how you did this.[/QUOTE] Step 1. Purchase the game from Amazon. Step 2. Redeems the product codes on Origin. Didn't know it was hard to figure out...
Damn, already preordered on Origin. Oh well I can wait.
[QUOTE=SPESS MEHRINE;34984228]Damn, already preordered on Origin. Oh well I can wait.[/QUOTE] Wait for what? Preloading or DLC?
Just finished playing through Mass Effect 1 in one sitting. Tomorrow I do it with Mass Effect 2. My body will be ready.

[QUOTE=Delta616;34984256]Wait for what? Preloading or DLC?[/QUOTE] -snip I'm an idiot, it says purchased Sunday, not releases on Sunday
[QUOTE=Sardonus;34984274]Not if you want a good ending.[/QUOTE] It took me two sittings to achieve a perfect ending in ME2. [editline]3rd March 2012[/editline] I shouldn't be boasting about that.
[QUOTE=Soleeedus;34984301]It took me two sittings to achieve a perfect ending in ME2. [editline]3rd March 2012[/editline] I shouldn't be boasting about that.[/QUOTE] No he's saying, as in the ME3 ending being the worst fucking ending to anything ever.
French stream got shut down. :( Anyway, that casual outfit that Shepard wore on the first level of the demo? The 360 release version in the stream looked much better. So it seems the textures are higher res in the full game.
[QUOTE=Sardonus;34983737]In the last unique conversation thread with Wrex, he mentions an old asari friend of his named "Aleena", who for complicated reasons he wound up fighting against. Against all odds she manages to escape and tells Wrex "Better luck next time". Now, when you ask Aria about her past, she casually mentions that Patriarch is not the first time she has tangled with a krogan nor was "Aria" the first name she had; she has changed names in the past. When Shepard drops the subject, she simply says "Better luck next time". Also, Aria mentions being an asari commando and a mercenary, same as Aleena. Shepard seems to imply that this is rather rare. Plus, she pretty much has the exact same personality as Wrex. Flippant, violent, aggressive... with a heart of gold and an understanding of the bigger picture. None of you even skimmed this. Nothing's confirmed, but it's fairly implied that it's Aria.[/QUOTE] I agree with most of that, except for the fact that Wrex is 'violent'. He rarely seems to resort to any serious form of violence throughout the trilogy - he knows that as a Krogan the mere threat of violence is enough to get his way. I mean think about the things he says if he's with you on Noveria; he pretty much threatens to eat almost everyone there at some point or another, and that's the end of his input in the situation.

[QUOTE=SPESS MEHRINE;34984295]No I was asking how you were able to get it to release for you on the 4th.[/QUOTE] It's not, it's a preload. Would be sweet if I pass release date check out, gonna try for the lulz when im done downloading.
[QUOTE=Delta616;34984394]It's not, it's a preload. Would be sweet if I pass release date check out, gonna try for the lulz when im done downloading.[/QUOTE] Yeah I know I misread it, I thought it said it releases for you on March 4th but it said purchased. Disregard my bad reading.
Anyone willing to sell an N7 Warfare Gear DLC coupon for PC? If so, inbox me, I'll do paypal or Steam games.
Replaying ME2 right now. I'm reminded how shitty the Firewalker missions are. This thing is made of fucking glass and even then I never die because I can just sit their firing an unlimited amount of missles while autotarget does it's thing. Not to mention it wouldn't matter if I die because you can't fucking save while in the tank and you can't get out of it even if you wanted to. Probably the most phoned in DLC I've ever seen.
Yeah the Mako was much much better than the Hammerhead. They definitely took the wrong route in "fixing" the Mako. Instead of removing the open world exploration with it (What I think most people complained about), they just removed it altogether. If it was solely missions like Noveria, where you follow a path I think it wouldn't have gotten nearly the amount of hate it did.
So about the mass effect 2 codex... In primary>technology>mass relays The picture is literally a loading screen from the first game. They didn't even photoshop out the "LOADING" in the bottom left. I just think its funny that they would put so much work/money/time into a game like this then cut that corner so bluntly.
[QUOTE=wulfe8857;34984260]Just finished playing through Mass Effect 1 in one sitting. Tomorrow I do it with Mass Effect 2. My body will be ready.[/QUOTE] Yeah, you don't beat ME2 in one sitting, unless you want to die at the end of it.
[sp]that seriously can't be the ending of Mass effect 3. I just came back from watching the audio of it, where the child etc bullshit "it was all just a story thing". I'm hopefully having doubts about this being the real ending, but if it is. Fuck you whoever wrote that shitty ending[/sp]
Thank goodness it comes out on Thursday for me, because by then I shall have the general overall idea if it's awful like DA2 or Great. (I can stand the cliche endings)

[QUOTE=Delta616;34984667]Yeah, you don't beat ME2 in one sitting, unless you want to die at the end of it.[/QUOTE] If I had a way to stream from XBOX, I would totally stream all of ME2 in one sitting with no squad deaths, just to prove you guys wrong :v:
[QUOTE=Big Ben;34984926]If I had a way to stream from XBOX, I would totally stream all of ME2 in one sitting with no squad deaths, just to prove you guys wrong :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah, just tell us who to call if you suddenly stop playing. And breathing.

[QUOTE=Sir Drone;34984726]Thank goodness it comes out on Thursday for me, because by then I shall have the general overall idea if it's awful like DA2 or Great. (I can stand the cliche endings)[/QUOTE] Same here. Even if the endings are cliches, it's no big deal. It's the journey that matters, right?
[QUOTE=Sir Drone;34984726](I can stand the cliche endings)[/QUOTE] I'm confused as to how you people who claim you love the franchise and have been waiting for the conclusion for 'x' amount of years can be alright with a mediocre (or worse) ending to Shepard's trilogy. Now it's "Oh it's the journey that matters, I don't care how the trilogy ends as long as there is some cool party member dialogue"?
Well it IS the journey that matters

Console boys already playing.. if they pirated their console. (No, I'm not encouraging you to pirate your console, and I don't even have any kind of console to pirate it). Sucks.
